I am reborn as Sai, but the animation three-body

Chapter 83 Small problems in the development of the earth and the moon

Sai still has a deep impression of this incident, because when Sai first recruited Shuiwa and the others, he asked them to clean up the space city.

Of course, because the space city was not completed, Shuiwa went to clean up the space elevator first, but after the completion of the space city, he had a new place to work.

Similar to the space elevator transfer station, the space city is spoke-shaped, but instead of being connected to the space elevator as originally planned, it was built near a microgravity factory.

In the medium-term vision of the PDC and the seven council members, they originally hoped to build a cylindrical space city, so that the people inside could have a sufficient sense of space.

However, due to technical limitations and safety considerations, the million-person space city was still in the shape of spokes, looking like a giant ring.

The cabins in the ring and the ring are built together, but it is not a layered structure like a spaceship, and there are roads and buildings. The usable area is about 90 square kilometers.

The space city simulates the same gravity as the earth through rotation, and the top of its ring top can simulate natural sunlight. As for oxygen and food, it relies on a large ecological cycle system.

There is even a gas simulation system inside, which can simulate the natural climate of the earth such as wind. If you don't pay attention carefully, it is even difficult to notice that you are in space.

Because of its experimental nature, and the fact that the seven council members all contributed to it, this space city finally belonged to the PDC and became the second territory of the PDC.

According to the previous agreement, the armed forces and cargo spacecraft of all countries have the right to enter this space city, which is a large transfer station.

However, this does not solve the essential issue that Say is concerned about, that is, the sovereignty of near-Earth space and the moon. Who should belong to these lands is a big problem.

With the expansion of the development of the extraterrestrial world, the construction of space cities and moon bases began to surge. In just one month, PDC received 175 proposals for the construction of space cities.

As for microgravity factories and space docks, there are more proposals, because space construction relies on high-tech equipment and engineering spacecraft, and without these two, humans cannot build space cities.

But there is a serious problem, and that is that no country has sovereignty over the moon and near-Earth space, and theoretically they have no right to build things there.

Therefore, the seven permanent members of the PDC and the thirty non-permanent members held a meeting for this purpose. As for the opinions of other small countries... it can only be said that they do not belong to the consideration of the big countries.

PDC internal meeting
"Everyone, with the progress in the development of near-Earth space and the moon, congratulations on the successful completion of the Nanfu Project. Human civilization is one step closer to defeating the three-body invaders..." Say first gave the opening remarks.

"But now with the increasing scale of space development, problems have gradually emerged." The representative of the United States said.

"Speaking of this, I also wonder why some countries are so keen on promoting the construction of space cities?" Say asked.

"Countries all over the world are interested in extraterrestrial development, so which countries are you referring to?" the representative of the European Union wondered.

"Nearly half of the proposals from equatorial countries and regional powers come from equatorial countries, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Brazil and Kenya. Their proposals are more than those of the seven members of the Council."

"The equatorial countries understand it well, because this will stimulate the construction of space elevators, and with the current level of human material technology, space elevators can only be built on the equator and not other places, that is, within their country."

"Although the space elevator belongs to the property of the PDC rather than a single country, the space elevator itself is a cornucopia that can drive the development of the surrounding economy," Hua Guo said.

Sai represented the pinnacle of intelligence in this world, so she understood the other party's meaning immediately, even if she couldn't collect the toll for the space elevator, she could still make a lot of money by relying on the space elevator.

The reason is simple. The space elevator is an important traffic channel, and the flow of people near it is extremely large, which can greatly promote the development of transportation, tourism and finance.

To give the simplest example, just by opening a restaurant or hotel at the entrance of the space elevator, it is estimated that you can make a lot of money and become a billionaire.

"What about regional powers, expecting to become a powerful country following the changes in the international situation brought about by space development?" Say said.

"Yes." The representative of Venezuela said that not long after Rey Diaz's death, Venezuela began to apply to become a permanent member of the PDC.

It is a pity that due to various reasons, they have not yet become the permanent members of the PDC as they wished, but have only been elected as non-permanent members of the current PDC.

"That's right." After looking at the representative of Venezuela, Say said: "Now is an era of change. The rise of your country has given regional powers ambitions."

The thinking of most regional powers is also very simple. Since Venezuela can leap from a poor country in South America to the fifth largest economy in the world, why can't it itself?

Although the three-body crisis is a crisis that all mankind must face, it also contains countless opportunities, enough to reshuffle the existing order.

"Since this is the case, we have to deal with the issue of space sovereignty, and we cannot let this issue constrain the enthusiasm of all human beings to develop the extraterrestrial world." The representative of Russia said.

After hearing the words, representatives of many countries nodded. This is the issue they came to discuss. There was almost an armed conflict on the moon before.

"It's better to let the PDC hand over the moon and near-Earth space to various countries. As for how to hand it over to whoever it is, it depends on the size of its contribution. Whoever contributes more will be able to own more land." The Japanese representative suggested.

Everyone understands this suggestion at once, because in theory, the PDC is the world government representing mankind and has the sovereignty of the entire solar system. The moon and near-Earth space are naturally also the legal territory of the PDC.

It is naturally legal and reasonable for the PDC to transfer its territory to other countries.

"So how do you define this contribution? Whoever donates the most money to the PDC contributes the most?" asked the representative of the United States.

"Of course it's not the so-called donation." The Japanese representative swallowed and continued: "It's that whoever contributes more to the construction of the solar system's defense line can get more land, and the construction of the solar system's defense line is to build space buildings. "

"Whoever has the ability to build space buildings, such as space cities and microgravity factories, submits an application to the PDC for a piece of land, and if the country can really complete the project, then the building and the surrounding space are the territory of the country .”

"This way, those who can get more, whether it is near-Earth space or the moon, can be done in this way. Whoever builds more space buildings will get more space."
